4.2 Selecting Temperature Unit (Fahrenheit/Celsius)
Locate the blue button on the thermometer. Press this button to toggle between Fahrenheit (℉) and Celsius (℃) display modes according to your preference.
4.3 Placement in Water
Gently place the thermometer into your pool, spa, or other water body. The thermometer is designed to float. For optimal temperature sensing, ensure the lower part of the thermometer, where the sensor is located, is submerged approximately 5 inches below the water surface.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To clean the thermometer, use a soft cloth and mild soap with water. The product care instructions specify "Hand Wash Only." Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the UV-resistant ABS casing or the LCD screen.
6.2 Battery Life and Charging
The built-in rechargeable battery is designed to last over six months on a full charge, thanks to exclusive low-voltage power-saving technology. Ensure the solar panel is exposed to sunlight regularly to maintain optimal battery levels. Even for indoor pools, periodic exposure to light will help sustain battery life.
6.3 Waterproof Integrity
The thermometer features an IPX-8 waterproof rating. While designed to be highly resistant to water, avoid intentionally submerging it to extreme depths or subjecting it to high-pressure water jets, which could compromise its seal over time.

7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Display Not Showing Temperature
- Check Sunlight Exposure: Ensure the solar panel has received sufficient sunlight to charge the internal battery. If the thermometer has been in a dark environment for an extended period, place it in direct sunlight for several hours.
- Verify Submersion: Confirm that the sensor portion of the thermometer is adequately submerged in the water.
7.2 Inaccurate Temperature Readings
- Sensor Depth: Ensure the sensor is approximately 5 inches below the water surface for the most accurate readings.
- Water Circulation: In stagnant water, temperature layers can form. Gently stir the water around the thermometer to ensure it's reading the average temperature.
- Environmental Factors: Extreme air temperatures or direct sunlight on the display portion (not the sensor) can sometimes affect readings.
7.3 Water Leakage
The Circrane thermometer is designed with an IPX-8 waterproof case and undergoes rigorous testing. If you experience any water leakage, please contact customer support immediately. A free exchange guarantee is provided for orders with water leakage issues.
